Club Atlético Lanús sponsored by Mapei back in the final of the Copa Sudamericana

Club Atlético Lanús returns to the final of the Copa Sudamericana for the third time in its history, confirming its leading role in one of the most prestigious competitions in South American football. The Argentine club, sponsored by Mapei, will take the field on 22 November against Atlético Mineiro at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium in Asunción, Paraguay.

Lanús, one of the most popular clubs in Argentina, plays in the Primera División, the equivalent of the Italian Serie A, and is based in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. Interestingly, Diego Armando Maradona was born in Lanús on 30 October 1960, although he never played for the team. The club boasts an impressive list of honours: two national titles, a Bicentennial Cup and an Argentine Cup. At international level, it has won a Copa Sudamericana and a Copa Conmebol, competitions comparable to the Europa League.

Mapei, which has always been close to the world of sport, shares with football fundamental values such as passion, teamwork and tenacity. Present in Argentina since 1999 with a factory in Escobar, in the province of Buenos Aires, the company has been the main sponsor of Club Atlético Lanús since 2020. This will be the second Copa Sudamericana final played with Mapei alongside the team.
